Worst than those who blatantly trample upon justice, are those who are silently compliant in its demise. One does not end war by escalating it. Nor does one fight “terrorism” by instituting the terrorism of repression at home or abroad. In this nation the atrocities of slavery and genocide are, in the name of “progress,”…

Cloaked in the guise of combating terrorism and of national security and virtually in plain view, the Bill of Rights and civil liberties in this nation have been, and are continuing to be, steadily, systematically, and meticulously shredded. The consequences are dire. No matter what the pretext, one does not protect, preserve, and strengthen hard…
